Sunburned Hand of the Man
 

God told me to listen to these guys.

I see them get tagged "New Weird America" or "freak folk" sometimes, but I don't know how much I like those genres seeing as how they tell you next to nothing about the group's actual sound. Sunburned Hand of the Man are basically a jam band, but definitely not in the Phish tradition, closer to Amon Duul ... the first one. It sounds like about half of the people playing know how to play their instruments, and the other half are probably to busy tripping to really care. So you end up with open-ended tunes that go nowhere but approach nirvana, at moments, before ripping it up into noisy chaos. If you're in the mood for it, it's a lot of fun to listen to. Psychedelic, weird, noisy... what more could you ask for?

Plus, God wants you to listen to them.

This is one of those bands I want to listen to a lot, but still haven't for some god forsaken reason.

I'll get an album ASAP.

Godspeed. Sun City Girls are pretty awesome, by the way.

I listened to the album No Magic Man

Holy **** this is amazing.

what other stuff have you heard by this band?

I bought their s/t just a couple days ago.

I may need to pay my local indie record store a visit, as more of this band would be fantastic.

sounds interesting. upload perhaps?

<333333 this band a lot. They're insane.

any day now....

thanks again!

they're great live.

someone suggest there best album for me
caus i cant get so much into them, just like I couldnt get into Black Helicopter...
eventho both seem like interesting bands

Mayb I just prefer stuff more like Jackie O mother****er, Hair Police or MM

Wow. I found Fire Escape randomly the other day and downloaded it. It's blowing my mind in the best way possible, I can't stop listening to it. Definitely a jam band, they get some sweet grooves going and then just go insane over them. Apparently the album was produced by Four Tet, I guess that's how I found it. Anybody else like them?

Can anybody sort me out with ups?

I can sort out Fire Escape tonight. I have to get Part Chimp's Cup up too, were you one of the people that wanted that?

I was yeah, i have I Am Come and love it, so im interested in what else they've done.
